Cappuccino


शनिवार का दिन हो, सर्दी की सुबह हो, बाहर घना कोहरा हो, एक हाथ मे पत्रिका ओर दुसरे हाथ में गर्म गर्म Cappuccino का कप हो वाह! लाईफ हो तो ऐसी हो।


One cup of 1% or skim milk

A teaspoon of sugar

A cup and a half of strong brewed coffee

1) After your coffee has brewed, combine the sugar & milk and heat it in your microwave for 2 minutes at the highest setting.

2) Next, whip the heated milk/sugar mix in your blender for about one minute until it's a fluffy foam.

Mrs. king Khan, Vogue's cover girl


Shah Rukh Khan has every reason to preen. No, it doesn't have anything to do with his six packs. Rather, it's his wife Gauri Khan who is the center of attention.
The mother of two has been chosen as the cover girl of Vogue India for its January edition.
The pictures were shot against the eight-floor extension of the Khans' sprawling home, Mannat.
'This is not my profession,' Gauri said. 'It has to be something really new and unusual to make me want to do something like this. I did enjoy the shoot but to be honest, I wouldn't do it very often."
"This collaboration between Gauri and Vogue India is a natural fit," says Priya Tanna, Editor Vogue India. "It is her first solo cover and a coup of sorts for Vogue. That she is stylish, enigmatic, and poised is known, but at the shoot we saw another side of her, that of a cover girl. Even in the frames she shares with Shah Rukh she holds her own impressively. She offers delightful peeks into her life, her wardrobe and her man. Gauri is a true Voguette."

आजकल मेरे बलोग का रुप कुछ बदला हे आप लोगो ने यह नोट किया या नही पर मेरे आर्टिकल भी कुछ बदले बदले से हैं। आप लोगो ने तो सुना ही होगा कि प्यार हवा मे होता है बस महसुस करने कि देर है ओर यह सर्दीयो का प्यारा मोसम क्रिसमस कि सजावट ऐसे मे किसी को किसी से प्यार केसे ना हो। (यह सब पढकर अगर आप सब को यह लगता है कि मुझे यह रोग लग गया है तो नही भाई प्यार कि इज्जत करना ओर प्यार होना यह मेरे लिए तो अलग अलग बातें है)। तो यह गाना उन सब लोगो के लिए जो प्यार मे हे या कभी किसी से प्यार किया था अगर नही भी तब भी।


एक हसींन निगाह का दिल पे साया हे
जादु हे जुनून हे केसी माया हे
ये माया हे

पांव के तले कभी दिल पडा मिले अगर
चूम के उठाइए, खूभ देखभालकर
जो कोइ पूछ ले तो क्या, राह से उठाया हे
एक हसींन निगाह का दिल पे साया हे…
तेरी नीली आँखो के भंवर बडे हसींन हे
डुब जाने दो मुझे यह ख्वाबो कि जमींन हे
उठा दो अपनी पलकों को, यह पर्दा क्यों गिराया हे
एक हसींन निगाह का दिल पे साया हे…

चली गई जो मनचली पुकारुन्गा गली गली
वो लेके दिल मेरी जिन्दगी चली चली उधर चली
वो रुठी रुठी रहती हे बहुत बहुत मनाया हे
एक हसींन निगाह का दिल पे साया हे…

NEPAL WOMEN’S ISSUES-1

Women Trafficking in Nepal:
The Constitution of the government of Nepal has guarantee the right of equality to women, however discrimination and problems against women manifest in a number of ways in Nepal. Age-old patriarchal value system, social and cultural practices have crippled the women in many says. Women are treated as a commodity since a long-time. They are regarded as second-class citizen and discriminated against in social, cultural, economic and political fronts as well. They are so oppressed, exploited and dominated that they only play the stereotype role in the entire society. The trafficking of women is more serious and deep-rooted problem in Nepal........
It is estimated that more than 150,000 innocent rural women and girl children are trafficked to Indian brothels and cities alone for commercial sex. Numbers of girl children and women become victims of sexual abuse, including rape inside the country. Since the Rana's despotic family rule, rural girl children were brought to cities for their housework or midwife. As they grown up, they were being sexually exploited and in the past many among them were settled with their livelihood too. This practice lured the rural poor indigenous people to send their innocent girls for away even India for the purpose of housework. With the pace of time, the problem spread over acutely, chronically, inhumanly and barbarously. It is estimated that every year 5000 to 7000 Nepalese girl children are trafficked to India alone. These facts and factors made Nepal as a country of facing the acute women trafficking problems.

yehii vo jagah hai.................

Hi guys, first of all as you know my English is not so good so I am going to write little in English and Hindi so don’t mind. Today I am going to post a song (lyrics). About this song I only heard this song in E-Kapoor’s drama Kashoti zingdi…. I just love this song. I never see this film our song. I search on net I didn’t find mp3. I just find this lyric. You know what if you’re music lover and didn’t hear this song then you really miss something good.

Film name: Yeh Raat Phir Na Aayegi

yehii vo jagah hai, yehii vo fizaa hai
yahin par kabhi aap hamase mile the
inhen ham bhala kis tarah bhul jayen
yahin par kabhi aap hamase mile the
yehi vo jagah hai ...

yahin par mera hath, hathon mein lekar
kabhi nai bichhadane ka, vada kiya tha
sada ke liye ho gae ham tumhare
gale se laga kar hamen ye kaha tha
kabhi kam na hongi hamari vafaen
yahin par kabhi aap hamase mile the
yehi vo jagah hai ...

yahin par vafa ka, naya rang bhar ke
banai thi chahat ki, tasavir tumane
yahin ki baharon se, phuion ko chun kar
sanvari thi ulafat ki, taqadir tumane
vo dil apako yad kaise dilaye
yahin par kabhi aap hamase mile the
yehi vo jagah hai ...

PUG


This is especially for dog lovers who want to know more about there pet.



A Pug is a toy dog breed with a wrinkly face and medium-small body. Pug puppies are often called puglets. The word "pug" may have come from the Old English Pugg, which was an affectionate term for a playful little devil or monkey. The breed is often summarized as multum in parvo ("much in little"), describing the Pug's great personality and small size.
Temperament
The stern expression of the Pug belies its true sense of fun. Pugs are very sociable dogs, and usually stubborn about certain things, but they are playful, charming, clever and are known to succeed in dog obedience skills. Pugs are sensitive to the tone of a human voice, so harsh punishment is generally unnecessary. While Pugs usually get along well with other dogs and pets, they generally prefer the company of humans and require a great deal of human attention; they may become slightly anxious or agitated if their owner ignores them or does not play with them; however some may occupy themselves when the owner is away. In general, they are very attentive dogs, always at their owner's feet, in their lap, or following them from room to room.

Health
Because Pugs lack longer snouts and prominent
skeletal brow ridges, they are susceptible to eye injuries such as puncture wounds and scratched corneas and painful Entropion. Also, the compact nature of their breathing passageways can cause problems such as difficulty breathing. Furthermore, dogs regulate their temperature through evaporation from the tongue. Because of the problems Pugs have with breathing, in conjunction with how all dogs regulate their temperature, Pugs may have trouble controlling their temperature. Pugs are bred to be indoor pets only, and must not be left outside in temperatures over 80 degrees Fahrenheit, despite loving to "sunbathe", and should never be left inside cars on hot days.
Pugs living a mostly sedentary life can be prone to
obesity. Therefore, it is important for Pug owners to make sure their pets have regular exercise and a healthy diet.
Pugs can also suffer from a chronic form of
granulomatous meningoencephalitis (an inflammation of the brain) specific to the breed called Pug Dog Encephalitis (PDE). There is no known cause or cure for PDE, although it is believed to be an inherited disease. All dogs tend to either die or are euthanised within a few months after the onset of clinical signs.
Pugs, along with other brachycephalic dogs (e.g.
boxers, bulldogs), are also prone to hemivertebrae. The screwtail is an example of a hemivertebrae, but when it occurs in others areas of the spine it can be devastating, causing such severe paralysis that euthanasia is a serious recommendation.
The Pug, like other short-shouted breeds, has an elongated palate. When excited, they are prone to a "reverse sneeze" where the dog will quickly and seemingly laboriously, gasp and snort. This is caused by fluid or debris getting caught under the palate and irritating the throat or limiting breathing. "Reverse sneezing" episodes will not hurt a Pug, but it will scare the dog, and maybe its owners, a good deal. The quickest way to stop these episodes is to talk to them calmly and gently rub the throat to induce swallowing Otherwise, the reverse sneezing will usually resolve on its own. It is important that future and present pug owners recognize this phenomenon as a pathological symptom rather than value it as a seemingly endearing behavioral pattern.
Most Pugs are born via
cesarean section.] Some breeders watch over an expecting pug for the last 3 weeks of her pregnancy as the mother, due to her pushed in face and jaw is unable to break the birth sack when the pups are born, so the human must do this for her.
As Pugs have many wrinkles in their faces, owners must take special care to clean inside the creases, as irritation and infection can result from improper care. Pugs also need to have their claws trimmed regularly and should only be bathed as needed, as this takes essential oils off the skin and fur.
Pugs are one of several breeds that are more susceptible to
Demodectic mange, also known as Demodex. This condition is caused by a weakened immune system, and it is a minor problem for many young Pugs. It is easily treatable. Some Pugs, however, are especially susceptible to the condition, and will present with a systemic form of the condition. This vulnerability is thought to be genetic, and good breeders will avoid breeding dogs who have had this condition.
Pugs can be expected to live from about 10 to 15 years. Exercise such as
swimming helps pugs enjoy life and live longer because it is easy on their delicate joints.

My first love DELHI part- 4


Education


Schools and higher educational institutions in Delhi are administered either by the Directorate of Education, the NCT government, or private organizations. In 2004–05, there were 2,515 primary, 635 middle, 504 secondary and 1,208 senior secondary schools in Delhi. That year, the higher education institutions in the city included 165 colleges, among them five medical colleges and eight engineering colleges, six universities—DU, JNU, GGSIPU, JMI, IGNOU and Jamia Hamdard, —and nine deemed universities.. GGSIPU is the only state university; IGNOU is for open/distance learning; the rest are all central universities.
Private schools in Delhi—which employ either English or Hindi as the language of instruction—are affiliated to one of two administering bodies: the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) and the Central Board for Secondary Education (CBSE). In 2004–05, approximately 15.29 lakh (1.529 million) students were enrolled in primary schools, 8.22 lakh (0.822 million) in middle schools and 6.69 lakh (0.669 million) in secondary schools across Delhi. Female students represented 49% of the total enrollment. The same year, the Delhi government spent between 1.58% and 1.95% of its gross state domestic product on education.
After completing the ten-year secondary phase of their education under the 10+2+3 plan, students typically spend the next two years either in junior colleges or in schools with senior secondary facilities, during which their studies become more focused. They select a stream of study—liberal arts, commerce, science, or, less commonly, vocational. Upon completion, those who choose to continue, either study for a 3-year undergraduate degree at a college, or a professional degree in law, engineering, or medicine. Notable higher education or research institutes in Delhi include All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, Delhi College of Engineering, Delhi School of Economics, Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Lady Shri Ram College for Women, Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies, Shri Ram College of Commerce and Sri Venkateswara College.

My first love DELHI part- 3


Economy

Delhi has seen a rapid growth in the economic sector. Shown here are commercial buildings in New Delhi
With an estimated net State Domestic Product (SDP) of $ 95 billion as of 2005(INR) (for the year 2004–05), Delhi is an important commercial center in South Asia. Delhi has a per capita income of 53,976 INR which is around 2.5 times of the national average. The tertiary sector contributes 70.95% of Delhi's gross SDP followed by secondary and primary sectors with 25.2% and 3.85% contribution respectively. Delhi's workforce constitutes 32.82% of the population showing an increase of 52.52% between 1991 and 2001. Delhi's unemployment rate decreased from 12.57% in 1999–2000 to 4.63% in 2003. In December 2004, 636,000 people were registered with various employment exchange programmes in Delhi. In 2001, the total workforce in all government (union and state) and quasi government sector was 620,000. In comparison, organised private sector employed 219,000. Delhi's service sector has expanded due in part to the large skilled English-speaking workforce that has attracted many multinational companies. Key service industries include information technology, telecommunications, hotels, banking, media and tourism. Delhi's manufacturing industry has also grown considerably as many consumer goods industries have established manufacturing units and headquarters in and around Delhi. Delhi's large consumer market, coupled with the easy availability of skilled labour, has attracted foreign investment in Delhi. In 2001, the manufacturing sector employed 1,440,000 workers while the number of industrial units was 129,000. Construction, power, telecommunications, health and community services, and real estate form integral parts of Delhi's economy. Delhi's retail industry is one of the fastest growing industries in India. However, as in the rest of India, the fast growth of retail is expected to affect the traditional unorganized retail trading system.

History


At 72.5 m (238 ft), the Qutub Minar is the world's tallest brick minaret.
Built in 1560, the Humayun's Tomb is a prime example of Mughal Architecture.
Built in 1921, the India Gate commemorates the 90,000 Indian soldiers who died in the Afghan Wars and World War I Human habitation was probably present in and around Delhi during the second millennium BC and before, as evidenced by archeological relics. The city is believed to be the site of Indraprastha, legendary capital of the Pandavas in the Indian epic Mahabharata. Settlements grew from the time of the Mauryan Empire (c. 300 BC). Remains of seven major cities have been discovered in Delhi. The Tomara dynasty founded the city of Lal Kot in 736 AD. The Chauhan Gurjars of Ajmer conquered Lal Kot in 1180 AD and renamed it Qila Rai Pithora. The Chauhan king Prithviraj III was defeated in 1192 by the Afghan Muhammad Ghori. In 1206, Qutb-ud-din Aybak, the first ruler of the Slave Dynasty established the Delhi Sultanate. Qutb-ud-din started the construction the Qutub Minar and Quwwat-al-Islam (might of Islam), the earliest extant mosque in India. After the fall of the Slave dynasty, a succession of Turkic and Central Asian dynasties, the Khilji dynasty, the Tughluq dynasty, the Sayyid dynasty and the Lodhi dynasty held power in the late medieval period, and built a sequence of forts and townships that are part of the seven cities of Delhi. In 1398, Timur Lenk invaded India on the pretext that the Muslim sultans of Delhi were too much tolerant to their Hindu subjects. Timur entered Delhi and the city was sacked, destroyed, and left in ruins. Delhi was a major center of sufism (a mystic tradition of Islam) during the Sultanate period. In 1526, Zahiruddin Babur defeated the last Lodhi sultan in the First Battle of Panipat and founded the Mughal Empire that ruled from Delhi, Agra and Lahore.
The Mughal Empire ruled northern India for more than three centuries, with a five-year hiatus during Sher Shah Suri's reign in the mid-16th century. Mughal emperor Akbar shifted the capital from Agra to Delhi. Shah Jahan built the seventh city of Delhi that bears his name (Shahjahanabad), and is more commonly known as the Old City or Old Delhi. The old city served as the capital of the Mughal Empire since 1638. Nader Shah defeated the Mughal army at the huge Battle of Karnal in February, 1739. After this victory, Nader captured and sacked Delhi, carrying away many treasures, including the Peacock Throne. In 1761, Delhi was raided by Ahmed Shah Abdali after the Third battle of Panipat. At the Battle of Delhi on 11 September 1803, General Lake's British forces defeated the Marathas.
Delhi came under direct British control after the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Shortly after the Rebellion, Calcutta was declared the capital of British India and Delhi was made a district province of the Punjab. In 1911, Delhi was again declared as the capital of British India. Parts of the old city were pulled down to create New Delhi; a monumental new quarter of the city designed by the British architect Edwin Lutyens to house the government buildings. New Delhi, also known as Lutyens' Delhi, was officially declared as the seat of the Government of India and the capital of the republic after independence on 15 August 1947. During the partition of India thousands of Hindu and Sikh refugees from West Punjab and Sindh migrated to Delhi. Migration to Delhi from the rest of India continues, contributing more to the rise of Delhi's population than the birth rate, which is declining.
In 1984, the assassination of Indira Gandhi (Prime Minister of India) led to violent backlash against the Sikh community, resulting in over two thousand seven hundred deaths. The Constitution (Sixty-ninth Amendment) Act, 1991 declared the Union Territory of Delhi to be formally known as National Capital Territory of Delhi. The Act gave Delhi its own legislative assembly, though with limited powers.

My first love DELHI part- 1


Hi guys ok first of all many my bloger friends don’t know any thing about me so here little information about me. My self deepa born and finish my childhood (school and +2 level) in Delhi. Delhi gives me lots of happiness like lots of nice and best friends. Delhi is my first love from last few weeks I really Miss Delhi so I am going to do something in my blog I am going to tell about Delhi. So if any one feels that it’s not good because I am Nepali and its have to be Nepali blog I just want to say I am sorry.


Delhi
Delhi sometimes referred to as Dilli, is the second-largest metropolis in India after Mumbai with a population of 13 million, and with an extended metropolitan population of almost 22 million. Located in northern India on the banks of the River Yamuna, Delhi has the political status of a federally-administered union territory known as the National Capital Territory of Delhi (NCT). A constitutional amendment in 1991 gave Delhi a special status among the Union Territories; Delhi has its own legislative assembly with limited powers. The National Capital Territory of Delhi comprises nine districts, 27 tehsils, three statutory towns viz. Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), New Delhi Municipal Committee (NDMC) and Delhi Cantonment Board (DCB), 59 census towns and 165 villages.
Delhi is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world. Having been the capital of several empires in ancient India, Delhi was a major city in the old trade routes from northwest India to the Gangetic Plains. Many ancient monuments, archaeological sites and remains of national importance have been erected in its history. The Mughals built a section of the city (now known as Old City or Old Delhi) that served as the capital of Mughal Empire for a long period. During the British Raj, New Delhi was built as an administrative quarter of the city. New Delhi was declared the capital of India after India gained independence from British rule in 1947. As the seat of the Government of India, New Delhi houses important offices of the federal government, including the Parliament of India. Delhi has grown up to be a cosmopolitan city owing to the immigration of people from across the country. Like many other large cities of the world, Delhi suffers from urbanisation problems such as pollution, traffic congestion, and scarcity of resources. The rapid development and urbanisation of New Delhi and surrounding areas coupled with the high average income of the populace has largely eclipsed socio-cultural traits that used to represent Delhi until a few years after independence.
Etymology
The etymology of "Delhi" is uncertain. The most common view is that it is an eponym of Dhillu, a king who ruled the area in ancient times. Some historians believe that the name is derived from Dilli, a corruption of dehleez or dehali—Hindustani for 'threshold'—and symbolic of city as a gateway to the Indo-Gangetic Plain. Another theory suggests that the city's original name was Dhillika. The Hindi/Prakrit word dhili ("loose") was also used for the area, and gradually transformed into the local name "Dilli". The coins in circulation in the region under the Tomara Rajputs were called dehliwal

SRK, KJo help Farah get ready


Post the success of Om Shanti Om, director Farah Khan is getting ready for her next baby – babies to be precise. The director is expecting triplets and her best friends in the industry – Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar – are making sure they do their fair share to help her get ready for motherhood.

Speaking before the release of her film Farah said Shah Rukh, hubby Shirish and she were working on baby names. “We will decide names only after the release of the film. I will have a lot of spare time then and all the names will be decided then. I don’t want to know the sex of my children... I don’t know how many boys or girls. But yeah Shah Rukh, Shirish and I will come up with a register of names and then we will decide,” Farah had said.

On Shah Rukh’s recent trip to London for the premiere of Om Shanti Om, SRK made sure he didn’t come back empty handed. “Farah has been advised bed rest and she couldn’t travel in this state. So Shah Rukh went shopping for her personally and brought back a pram that will fit all three of her babies... It’s custom made to his specifications,” says a source. And that’s not all Karan Johar, who is known for his fashionable style, has also been chipping in. “Karan’s been shopping for Farah whenever he travels. As soon as they knew she was pregnant she gave him a list of things that she needed and he shopped for her,” says the source, “He got her a lot of maternity dresses and other things that she will need after giving birth. From Marks and Spencer in London to high end stores in the US, Karan has been shopping away for his friend!” And just like in their personal lives, Karan, SRK and Farah have formed a trio of sorts in their professional lives as well. Neither one of them completes a project without the other two being a part of it. SRK made sure he had his best friends Karan and Farah on his television debut. Farah and Karan made an appearance on the Valentine’s Day Special on KBC while Karan and Farah can’t think of making a film without the King Khan. All of Karan’s superhits have had SRK in them while Farah has always said that no film of hers will be made without Shah Rukh in it.

Richest Indian, Mukesh Ambani Builds 27-Story Glass Mansion Home in Mumbai City part-3

Mumbai, India (AHN) - The wealthiest Indian and the world's no 1 richest man, Mukesh Ambani of Reliance Industries, is building a new home in Mumbai city. The buzz around town is that the home-in-the-making is a glass mansion on Altamound Road called "Antilla." The name is derived from a phantom island in the Atlantic Ocean to the west of Spain.
Ambani's wealth is cumulated at $21 billion as of March 2007. Despite the skirmishes with his brother Anil Ambani, if the two join together, the collaboration could indeed amount to the wealthiest in the world.
The plan for the palatial building in India's economic capital is drawn up by the firm, Perkins and Will. And the mansion will have everything from a swimming pool to a personal car-servicing center for the Ambani family's 168 imported cars.
The design also calls for a refuge center in case of emergencies and of course a health center, including a health spa and gym. Other additions to the family home of 27 stories will include six floors for parking - exclusively for the family's automobiles.
In actuality, it is about 60 floors, but since it has been reduced to 27 stories to make the ceilings a bit higher. And a helipad or an air space floor is planned on the uppermost area, functioning as a control room for landing choppers. The eighth floor will have a mini theatre, which can seat 50, and will be used for recreational activities. A two-storied glass-front apartment will serve as guest rooms. Three floors will serve as terrace gardens with balconies. And the facility will be staffed, around the clock, with 600 employees.
The king of the Reliance conglomerate, decidedly one of the premier corporations in India, will have the top four floors as his abode, where he will share the private space with his wife Nita, their three children and his mother - the dream of most successful Indian businessmen. The view at the top will include the skyline of Mumbai city and a glimpse of the Arabian Sea.
The locality where the mansion is being developed has a real estate value of $1,841.36 per square feet. The building is expected to be finished by September 2008.

Gayatri Devi




Rajmata of Jaipur, Gayatri Devi, is high up in the Harpers and Queen Magazine's compiled list of 100 most beautiful women of the past century. Her inclusion is no surprise. The Vogue called her as one of the most beautiful woman, while a famous celebrity photographer had included her in his list of 10 world beauties in the 60s.
Rajmata Gayatri Devi was the last of the Queens of Jaipur in Rajasthan. Gayatri Devi was the daughter of Maharaja Jitendra Narayan and Haharani Indirea Devi of the "Koch" dynasty of Coch Behar, She was born on the 23rd May 1919. After schooling in India she finished her education in Switzerland and London. At the age of 19 she fell in love with Man Singh, the heir to the Jaipur throne. Their marriage was initially opposed by her parents, as Man Singh already had two wives, the daughters of the Maharaja of Jodhpur. However, her parents gave in to her determination, and she was married to Man Singh in 1939. The Jaipur Royal family lived in lavish style and was visited by presidents, movie stars and other Royalty. Gayatri Devi was listed by Vogue as one of the world's most beautiful women and is still the favorite of society columnists and the world's photographers. The Rajmata pioneered the education of girls in Jaipur. In 1962 she entered politics in her state and won the largest ever electoral victory, for which she still holds the Guiness record. She won the seat again in 1967 and 1971 for the Swatantra Party, running against the ruling Congress Party. In 1971 the Privy Purse and all royal privileges were abolished in India. Gayatri Devi was accused of breaking tax laws and served 5 months in Tihar Jail which she bore with great dignity. She retired from politics after that experience, and published her autobiography "A Princess Remembers" in 1976. She was also the focus of a film called "Memoirs of a Hindu Princess", directed by Francois Levie. The Rajmata leant elephant riding at a young age and is passionate about the welfare of Indian elephants. She is a patron of elephant family charity.

Mukesh Ambani earns Rs 864,000 a day! Part-2

Top corporate honcho Mukesh Ambani makes close to Rs 1,000 every second for his flagship company Reliance Industries and, in turn, gets a reward of one per cent of this additional profit or Rs 10 per second.
The paycheck of Ambani, already the richest Indian and highest paid corporate chief in India, got fatter by over Rs 5 crore (Rs 50 million) to Rs 30.46 crore (Rs 304.6 million) in the financial year 2006-07.
This represents an increase of Rs 2 per second from his previous fiscal's paycheck of Rs 24.77 crore (Rs 247.7 million), reveals RIL's annual report for 2006-07 currently being sent to investors.
However, the hike of more than 20 per cent has come along with a jump of about 32 per cent in RIL's net profit to Rs 11,943 crore (Rs 119.43 billion) in the latest fiscal, as against Rs 9,069 crore (Rs 90.69 billion) in the previous year. The company's turnover also rose by over 32 per cent to Rs 1,18,354 crore (Rs 1183.54 billion) in the year.
"RIL has become first and only private sector company to record turnover of over Rs 1,00,000 crore (Rs 1000 billion) and net profit exceeding Rs 10,000 crore (Rs 100 billion)," the company's annual report quoted Ambani as saying.
The company's "excellent performance" has cemented its position as the largest private sector enterprise in terms of revenue, profit, net worth, assets and market cap, he added.
Earlier this month, RIL became India's first company to achieve a market cap of more than Rs 3,00,000 crore (Rs 3000 billion).
The hike of over Rs 5 crore (Rs 50 million) in Mukesh Ambani's annual remuneration further extends the gap from the annual paycheck of his younger brother Anil, with whom he separated in June 2005, to more than Rs 27 crore (Rs 270 million).
Anil's annual pay as chief of four group firms, Reliance Energy , Reliance Communications , Reliance Natural Resources Ltd and Reliance Capital Ltd , totals to less than Rs 3 crore, according to their annual reports.
In terms of pay per second, Anil Ambani's pay comes out to be about Rs 1 for the fiscal year 2006-07. There are about 3.15 crore seconds in a year. The two brothers were taking equal salary of about Rs 21 crore (Rs 210 million) till they were together.
However, Mukesh Ambani's salary has grown much bigger by virtue of higher profits clocked by his company, even though it has cut the percentage of net profit doled out as key managerial payments.
In 2006-07, RIL's salaries and other payments for MD and executive directors was calculated at a rate of 0.402 per cent of net profit. In the previous year it was 0.67 per cent till June 18, 2005, the day the two brothers reached a settlement to go separate ways, and 0.402 per cent per annum thereafter.
Mukesh Ambani was accompanied by two other key top-level executives -- executive directors Nikhil Meswani and Hital Meswani -- to get a pay hike. Hardev Singh Kohil, also an Executive Director, however, took a pay cut of about Rs 35 lakh to get Rs 1.15 crore (Rs 11.5 million).
Nikhil, responsible for RIL's petrochemicals and polyester businesses, got a hike of Rs 1.46 crore (Rs 14.6 million) to take his annual paycheck to Rs 7.77 crore (Rs 77.7 million). Hital, responsible for petroleum business, also got a similar hike to Rs 7.76 crore (Rs 77.6 million) in 2006-07.
RIL paid Rs 47.14 crore (Rs 471.4 million) in total managerial remuneration, up from Rs 44.36 crore (Rs 443.6 million) in the previous year. Besides, it paid Rs 1 crore (Rs 10 million) as commission to non-executive directors, half of the Rs 2 crore (Rs 20 million) paid in 2005-06.
While the salary component came down to Rs 1.3 crore from Rs 1.41 crore in the previous year, the commission rose to Rs 43.59 crore (Rs 435.9 million) from Rs 40.22 crore (Rs 402.2 million).
Payments like perquisites, contribution to provident and superannuation funds, leave salary/encashments and gratuity provision came down, while RIL also took into account sitting fees paid to erstwhile IPCL directors last fiscal. Article from:

Enter Anil Kumble - Indias' Test skipper


India’s newly-appointed Test captain Anil Kumble admitted he was a stop-gap arrangement but said he looked forward to the challenge at the tail end of his career.

Kumble, 37, was Thursday named captain for the upcoming three-Test home series against Pakistan as the selectors opted to give front-runner Mahendra Singh Dhoni more experience of the five-day game.

"I guess it has come at a stage when the next guy takes over and I have to make sure there is a smooth transition," Kumble told reporters in his home city of Bangalore.

"It has come at the fag end of my career. But it has given me additional motivation to carry on and perform."

Dhoni, 26, who took over as one-day and Twenty20 captain in September, was considered the leading candidate for the Test role after senior pro Sachin Tendulkar turned down an offer from the selectors.

But the five-man selection committee, headed by former captain Dilip Vengsarkar, felt Dhoni's 20 Tests in two years left the dashing wicketkeeper-batsman too raw to assume the mantle.

Kumble, a veteran of 118 Tests, succeeds his Karnataka team-mate Rahul Dravid, who unexpectedly resigned as captain after the England tour in September for unspecified reasons.

The leg-spinner is India's most successful bowler and his 566 Test wickets are bettered only by Australia's Shane Warne (708) and Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan, who had 700 wickets before the ongoing Brisbane Test.

"I am not looking far ahead," said Kumble, who was appointed only for the Pakistan series even though India tour Australia for four Tests in mid-December before hosting South Africa for three more Tests in March.

History Of Taj Mahal




Taj Mahal is a mausoleum located in Agra, India. The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan commissioned it as a mausoleum for his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Construction began in 1632 and was completed in approximately 1648.


In AD 1628, Khurram became king after a bloody battle of succession: he took the name Shahjahan or “King of the World” and showered his beloved begum with the highest titles. She became Mumtaz Mahal, the exalted of the palace and Mumtaz-ul-Zamani, the exalted of the Age. But Mumtaz Mahal was not destined to be queen for long. In 1631, Shahjahan went on an expedition to the south and, as always, Mumtaz Mahal accompanied him. But she died in childbirth at Burhanpur. She had borne Shahjahan fourteen children, of whom four sons and three daughters survived. When Mumtaz Mahal died, she was just 39 years old. Shahjahan was inconsolable and contemporary chronicles tell of the royal court mourning for two years. there was no music, no feasting, and no celebration of any kind.



Epitome Of Love -Taj MahalShahjahan, who was a passionate builder, now decided to erect a memorial to his queen in pristine marble that the world would never forget. The site selected for the tomb was a garden by the Yamuna river, unshadowed by any other structure. The garden had been laid by Raja Man Singh of Amber and now belonged to his grndson, Raja Jai Singh. By a royal firman, Shahjahan gave Jai Singh four havelis in exchange for the garden. The site was also chosen because it was located on a bend in the river, and so could be seen from Shahjahan’s personal palace in Agra Fort, further upstream.Construction Of The Mausoleum - Taj MahalWork on the mausoleum began in 1633 and 20,000 workers laboured for 17 years to build it. The most skilled architects, inlay craftsmen, calligraphers, stone-carvers and masons came from all across Indian and lands as distant as Persia and Turkey. The master mason was from Baghdab, an expert in building the double dome from Persia, and an inlay specialist from Delhi.

Mukesh Ambani part-1




Mukesh Ambani (born April 19, 1957 in Aden, Yemen) is an Indian businessman. He is the chairman, managing director and the largest shareholder of Reliance Industries, India's largest private sector enterprise and a Fortune 500 company. His personal stake in Reliance Industries is 48%. His wealth was US$20.1 billion in March 2007 (as per Forbes), making him the world's 14th richest person and the second richest person in India. However, his wealth was valued at US$55.3 billion in October 2007 taking into account his holding in Reliance Industries and group companies. This made Ambani the richest Indian, ahead of steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal. On 29th October 2007, as a result of a strong share price rally in his group companies, Ambani was thought to have become the richest man in the world with a net worth of $63.2 billion, as reported by Forbes Magazine. However, this claim was refuted by Reliance Industries, which said that the calculations regarding his wealth were inaccurate.
Mukesh and younger brother Anil are sons of the late founder of Reliance Industries, Dhirubhai Ambani.




Career
Mukesh Ambani joined Reliance in 1981 and initiated Reliance's backward integration from textiles into polyester fibres and further into petrochemicals. In this process, he directed the creation of 60 new, world-class manufacturing facilities involving diverse technologies that have raised Reliance's manufacturing capacities from less than a million tonnes to twelve million tonnes per year.
He directed and led the creation of the world's largest grassroots petroleum refinery at Jamnagar, Gujarat, India, with a present capacity of 660,000 barrels per day (33 million tonnes per year) integrated with petrochemicals, power generation, port and related infrastructure, at an investment of Rs 100000 crore (nearly $26 billion USD).
Mukesh Ambani set up one of the largest telecommunications companies in India in the form of Reliance Communications (formerly Reliance Infocomm) Limited. However, Reliance Infocom now is under ADAG (Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group) post the brothers' split.
Mukesh Ambani is also steering Reliance's initiatives in a world scale, offshore, deep water oil and gas exploration and production program, a pan-India petroleum retail network involving 5,800 outlets and a research-led life sciences initiative covering medical, plant and industrial biotechnology.




Wealth
The combined market capitalization of the four Mukesh Ambani Group companies -- Reliance Industries, Reliance Petroleum (RPL), IPCL and Reliance Industrial Infrastructure Ltd (RIIL) has crossed the Rs 500,000 crore mark. The total promoter holding in these companies is worth over Rs 200,000 crore (US$ 50 billion). On 26th Sept 2007, Ambani was declared 5th richest person in the world, next to Carlos Slim Helú, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.
As of 5th October 2007, his net worth was calculated at $55.8 billion, making him world's 3rd wealthiest person after Carlos Slim Helú ($68b) and Bill Gates ($59b).
On 29th October 2007, as a result of a rally in the share prices of his companies, Ambani was declared the richest man in the world by the Indian news media, who pegged his net worth at US$63.2 billion. However, Reliance Industries clarified a day later that Ambani was not the richest man in the world, and that calculations regarding his wealth were incorrect.




Family
Ambani is the son of one of the most prominent businessman in India, the late Dhirubhai Ambani, a Gujarati entrepreneur. His brother Anil Ambani heads other companies in the Reliance Group. The Ambani brothers had a well-publicized spat after their father's death, which led to the Reliance Group being split between the two.
Mukesh Ambani is married to Nita Ambani, who looks after the social and charitable arm of Reliance Industries. They have 3 children: Akash, Isha and Anant.
Ambani is currently building a US$1 billion residential building, Antilia in Mumbai for his family. It is expected to be ready in September 2008.
He gifted his wife Nita a jet plane worth Rs.245-crore recently during her birthday.
